several readers have come forward with additional information that sheds light on the change in McAfee's behavior. In July of 2010, shortly before Allison Adonizio pulled the plug on their quorum-sensing project and fled the country, McAfee began posting on a drug-focused Russian-hosted message board called Bluelight

How did several readers of gizmodo know that McAfee was on Bluelight?
And does that fact that he was on Bluelight truly "shed light" on his behavior change -is it because drug users are often murderers, and murderers are often drug users?

Marco Vidal, the head of Belize’s Gang Suppression Unit, says that McAfee is a “prime suspect” in Faull’s death

yahoo/reuters article:

Police in Belize want to question U.S. anti-computer virus software pioneer John McAfee in connection with the murder of a neighbor he had been quarrelling with, but they say he remains a person of interest at this time and is not a suspect.

wired article:

He spoke specifically about Faull. “This is not something he would ever do,” McAfee said. “I mean, he’s an angry sort of guy but he would never hurt a dog.”

yahoo/reuters article:

Segura said McAfee had been at odds with Faull for some time. He accused his neighbor of poisoning his dogs earlier this year and filed an official complaint.

...McAfee had fired off guns and exhibited "roguish behavior." Their final disagreement apparently involved dogs.

Well, I guess ol' Stuff wasn't lying about the dogs at least!

I am impressed. I've been on Bluelight off and on since 1999 and this is certainly the most unusual and hilarious episode I can recall. Whodda thunk, the perfect confluence of McAfee, eccentric genius and the jungle, "bath salts", sex, murder, and Bluelight? This is a certain press mans wild dream!

Well according to Fox News, that bastion of journalistic integrity, they do have a suspect in custody, but are still searching for Stuff as well. Conspiracy! But more importantly, McAfee's descent into the maelstrom that is "bath salts" began after the death of a friend from their shared interest in "low flying tricycles". That's how it always begins, innit? Wtf. . .

Stuff is looking pretty decent at 67 years old and on a 3-4 year super duper tan PV XL binge! Especially the pics where he is posing with his tribal tattoos and the shotgun. The 17 year old local girlfriend don't hurt. Fuck RV's and Harleys, right? This is the new way to buck/embrace the inevitable age conundrum!
